Rifle Scopes AR mount for IOR 3.5-15x50

[eleaf]

Does anyone know of any AR single piece mounts will fit the new IOR 3.5-15x50 FFP? It needs to be a 1 piece mount with 35mm rings.

The AD mounts do not as the inner distance between rings is too short (<2.3").

The LaRue will be close though I think it will be a few hundredths short.

I know I can get a modified Aadmount that will fit.

The inner distance needs to be 2.37 or larger" (the Larue I think in 2.35").

I would just stick with the factory IOR rings, or pay a little extra and get some quick release rings if you want that functionality.

Go with the IOR low 35mm rings and a Bad ORD 22moa AR base. TRUST me this is the best way to go.

This lets you use the scope on a AR and a bolt action if you ever need to move it around later on in life.

TRUST me on this.

I had ran this system on a AR-10, 2 AR-15's and a GAP 700 rifle for years. It just works

The AAD mount is not available in 35mm I don't think,only 30 and 34mm.Seekins Rings are a worthwhile upgrade over the IOR rings.

A quality set of 35mm rings in conjunction with the Badger 22MOA rail is the best way to go with the IOR. It is a solid setup and the only thing it lacks over the Larue and ADM mounts is the QD capability.

I don't think you'll find a 35mm equipped, 1pc mount that will work with the long turret section of the scope.

Actually I have. The AD Recon-SW. It was designed to be able to fit the wide S&Bs (3.250" inner distance between rings - more than enough for the IOR). I have one on order, but I don't know if it will work because there is no cantilever and it may be too far back. I have one on order as of right now, so we'll see how it goes.

Just goes to show that you learn something new every day! I wasn't aware that ADM had come out with such a mount, but that is smart on their part as the S&B (at least some of them) and the IOR scopes (as well as some other mfg's scopes such as some USO, etc.) have trouble with the 1pc mounts just for that very reason. As for the lack of any cantilever/addt'l length...that may be a tough one depending on the rifle its going on (i.e. - a stock AR-15 A4 upper without a monolithic rail...especially if you shoot nose-to-the-CH). Be sure to post some pics once you get the new ADM mount in your hands...I'm intersted in seeing it!!

As has been mentioned, while I haven't yet made a production run of AADMOUNTs in 35mm, I can ream out 34mm mounts for those who really need a solid mount now and can't wait. They work just the same.

They will fit any 35mm scope I know of except for the USO T-Pals.

I can second that. I am using one of these and it works great.

How does that feel? Weight, balance? I was thinking of doing something very similar to an 18" REPR

Just send me a PM or email at [email protected] and I'll take care of you. I need to get the 35mm option on my site as it has become quite popular. I'll work on that, but for now just PM or email and I'll get you one.

I have that exact setup (flat-top upper without a monolithic rail), and the front crossbolt fits 4 slots from the front end of the rail on the upper. I was thinking that I might be in trouble with no cantilever, but I have plenty of room to spare as I don't weld on the CH, but pretty far back with a PRS.

The Recon-SW works, as does the Recon per another guy on this thread: I wonder if I could have gone with a Recon-S (straight) mount without having to go with the Super Wide version . . .

That IOR 3.5-18 in that AAD mount is killer.

Re: AR mount for IOR 3.5-15x50

Very professional looking piece of gear.

IOR seems to continue to make their variables rather long in the ocular lens assembly, combine this with a lengthy magnification ring and you run into AR mounting problems, because the ocular with diopter adjusted needs to be ahead of the charging handle stop on the upper receiver for correct target recognition without hunting for your cheek weld...

The massive turret housing also limits mounting options.

On an AR-10, not as much a problem as you have several more slots on the upper. With a continuous rail upper receiver on an AR-15 you would be fine.

People bitch about Leupold. The ocular lenses and short oal designs, plus the 50% weight savings their Mk4 variables offer compared to the highly touted "great glass" scopes make them a better choice for AR use, unless you shoot from static position or rest all the time. Maybe Gunga Din who carries your crew served weapon won't mind the weight?

A 16 or 17 pound AR is not terribly fast to deploy. Have 2 GAP built AR-10Ts. One has an NXS 2.5-10 24mm, the other a 22" has the 4.5-14 mk4. With 20 rd loaded mags the 22" weighs 14.25# and the 18" NXS mounted 10T weighs 13. Neither rifle kept its magpul sniper stock either which saved another 2lbs. Don't need the adjustable cheek piece or the weight.

Want that "great glass"? Not like it is that much different for target recognition or precision at distance, but sitting behind the scope for hours; maybe it reduces some fatigue?

Having to make all sorts of accommodations to use a sighting mechanism and to hamper a semi-auto with unnecessary weight is short-sighted in my book. The NXS and Mk4 scopes each weigh about the same, within a few ounces. The lighter rifle is carried much more often, and responds with greater speed from carry-ready position.

AAD and I will be talking soon for mounts for my POF and one of my DTA's. Yeah I said one of...it's an addiction. I want a 338 Convert so bad..I can taste it.

You make a very valid point. That is why I'm using a decent QR mount. I have other optics in QR mounts, zeroed and indexed to the toprail slots. Then it is just a matter of moments to pop on my aimpoint, accupoint or similar, and be pretty much back on target.

Although "return to zero" is not an absolute, for me, the benefits of QR outweigh those of a more permanent solution.
